Joe mentioned the counterbalanced lift lock that uses water from one 
side to lift the other. It is in Peterborough, Ontartio, Canada and 
there is a description in Wikipedia. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peterborough_Lift_Lock It is the highest 
hydraulic lift lock in the world, lifting 19.8 metres, or 65 ft.
